Climate Change: Ice Melt, Greenhouse Gas, and Species Range Activities - Concept
[Chapter 7.Climate changes and insurance]
Abstract:
Chapter 7. Climate changes and insuranceClimate change challenges insurance, confronting it with uncertainty: risks evolves over time in frequency and intensity, leaving us incapable of measuring the extent of these changes. The following contribution first addresses the way insurance takes into account climate change, from an actuarial and a political point of view. Indeed the principles and the normativity of insurance are solicited. It will then consider the different types of insurance cover, from the most classic, the sustainability of which is threatened by climate change, to the most innovative, which have more to do with finance than insurance.

ExpandNOTE: This activity is a simulation of land- and sea-ice melting and their effects on water levels.
First, label one graduated cylinder as 'Sea Ice' and the other graduated cylinder as 'Land Ice.' Hypotheses: the experimental hypothesis might be that the land ice melting will cause the water level to rise more than the melting sea ice. The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the change in water level between the two containers.
